why template not working in reset password loopback

Question

i m just confuse why template not working in reset password function

  user.on('resetPasswordRequest', function(info) {
   var url = 'http://' + config.host + ':' + config.port + '/reset-password';
   var html = 'Click <a href="' + url + '?access_token=' +
    info.accessToken.id + '">here</a> to reset your password';
     user.app.models.Email.send({
          to: info.email,
          from: info.email,
          subject: 'Password reset',
          html: html
    }, function(err) {
       if (err) return console.log('> error sending password reset email');
      console.log('> sending password reset email to:', info.email);
   });
 });

above code is working fine but if i use template intead of html then i got empty template in email for eg like below

    user.app.models.Email.send({
          to: info.email,
          from: info.email,
          subject: 'Password reset',
         template: path.resolve(__dirname, '../../server/views/verify.ejs'),
    }, function(err) {
       if (err) return console.log('> error sending password reset email');
      console.log('> sending password reset email to:', info.email);
   });

if i use this same template in user.verify method it work there then why it not working here
is there any other alternative to provide template in password reset

hello rocky you can try something like this

var ejs = require("ejs");

var token = info.accessToken.id;
var pathreset= path.resolve(__dirname, '../../server/views/resetpassword1.ejs');

ejs.renderFile(pathreset, { username: info.user.username, token:token }, function (err, data) {
        if (err) {
                console.log(err);
         } else {

             var options={
                to: info.email,
                from: credentials.user,
                subject: 'Password reset',
                html:data
                }

             User.app.models.Email.send(options, function(err) {
                    if (err) return console.log('> error sending password reset email');
                     console.log('> sending password reset email to:', info.email);
             });

hope this will help you as well other
